In addition to showing the status of the snow/ice melting system and controlling the hold-on time, the RCO will turn on/off the heat for these controllers.
Note: When the Heater Cycle switch is momentarily depressed, it will start a manual Heater Cycle for the Cycle Time setting. Momentarily depressed while heaters are being operated by a Hold-On Timer or during manual Heater Cycle will end the Heater Cycle. Heater operation during snow conditions cannot be canceled in this manner.
Our systems can handle low temperatures, but many controls come equipped with a Low-Temperature Lockout Feature. This feature prevents the system from running in very low temperatures. At very low temperatures it can become difficult for the system to effectively melt the snow. It is however possible to turn off this feature should you need the system to keep running during such low temperatures.
All of our automatic controllers have a Hold-on time feature after the initial warming up of the snow melt system. This feature ensures that all the snow is melted from the surface, and also that the system continues to operate and evaporate the surface water without it refreezing.
The snow melting system is not operated by a thermostat, it is operated by either an automatic or manual controller. A snow melting controller does not maintain temperatures like an indoor thermostat does. An automatic snow melting controller only turns the snow melting system on when it detects precipitation and the temperature outdoors is below the set temp (typically 37.4°F / 3°C).
